1:6000 Scale (6K) Quadrangles developed by USEPA to Support Reconnaissance, and Tactical and Strategic Planning for Emergency Responses and Homeland Security Events (Downloadable Data)

Description

Reference quads for emergency response reconnaissance developed for use by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Grid cells are based on densification of the USGS Quarterquad (1:12,000 scale or 12K) grids for the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico and are roughly equivalent to 1:6000 scale (6K) quadrangles approximately 2 miles long on each side. Note: This data set is available as a national-scale file (>80MB) and as individual regional subsets. Each regional extract includes a 20 mile buffer of tiles around each EPA Region. The URLs for each are as follows: Entire Country: https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/OLEM/OLEM-OEM/6kquads_epa.zip, Regional subsets: https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/OLEM/OLEM-OEM/6kquadr[enter region number].zip (e.g., R6 subset URL https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/OLEM/OLEM-OEM/6kquadr6.zip)
